The UC Open XP controller is then wired to the terminal strip
and mounted inside the control plenum.
If shipping splits exist, wiring will be terminated at each
split with a molex type quick connect at each end of the wiring.
The control box includes the control module, circuit breaker,
transformers, and terminal blocks. An ON/OFF switch is pro-
vided to shut off the control box power.
The control box environmental limitations are as follows:
Shipping Temperature — –24 to 140 F
Shipping Humidity — 0 to 90%
Operating Temperature — 0 to 140 F
Operating Humidity — 0 to 90%
Service Area Requirements — Article 110-16 of the
NEC (National Electrical Code) describes electrical installation.
All UC Open XP control installations must comply with the
minimum clearances required for electrical installation as listed
in Table 110-16(a) of the code. Make sure to provide the neces-
sary clearance from the UC Open XP controls and unit to any
adjoining wall. Refer to the base unit installation instructions
for detailed dimensions for each unit section.
Electrical Requirements — The control system will
run off of the AHU system's power through 2 transformers to
adjust the incoming voltage to 24 vac ± 10%. The incoming
power supply may be 50 or 60 Hz and capable of providing a
minimum of 3 amps (but not greater than 20 amps) to the con-
trol board. Do not run Class I power wiring in the same con-
duit as Class II sensor wiring, control wiring of field-installed
devices, or the Class motor starter wiring.

IMPORTANT: To ease installation and servicing, all a34-4317

field-installed sensor wiring should be located on the
service side of the unit. All factory wiring run between

supplied and installed steam or water heating and/or cooling
coil and either of the "Factory Wired" control options is
selected in the AHUBuilder® program. The thermostat is used
to protect the equipment coils from freezing temperatures in
the event of a malfunction, by detecting the presence of a
potentially damaging condition. The UC Open XP control will
stop the fan if damaging conditions are detected. If field
installed, the LTT should be done so on the entering air side of
the first cooling coil in the equipment. (For heating only units,
it is installed on the leaving air side of the first heating coil.) A
single LTT is used for coil face areas up to 45 sq ft. For larger
coils, one LTT is used for each 45 sq ft of coil face area. If
a39-4372 multiple coils are used, such as a split coil, one LTT is used on
each coil even if the total coil face area is 45 square feet or less.
The UC Open XP control accommodates multiple LTTs.
